	Peter Wood on Partisan Review on National Review Online
		Partisan Review was a force to be reckoned with from the late 1930s to the early 1960s.
		This was a painful time for Partisan mostly because it had fallen so far behind the dance of cultural politics — a dance in which it had once been among the leading figures.
		Partisan Review taught a generation or two of intellectuals how to engage in intelligent cultural criticism.

	BOOKFORUM \| spring 2004
		First, going way back—even though this was no longer the Partisan of its great decades (the journal came to BU in 1978)—I had a strong residue of provincial awe and often thought as I pushed open the building door that I was in live proximity to something legendary.
		The reviewer is winking at her audience, creating her analogy from the democratic realm of popular culture; she will not be caught out insisting on anything that smacks of an absolute standard or posture of judgment.
		Partisan Review lost relevance and went under because that audience and that conjunction of beliefs and ideals faded away.

	Bell's End of Ideology (chapter 13)
		Partisan Review, for example, is twenty-three years old, yet its editors, William Phillips and Philip Rahv, are not "old" men (say, fifty, give or take a year).
		Universities and Left Review and Arguments represent a new generation with all the earnestness and questing freshness of the young; Dissent is a magazine of the epigone, the after-born, jejune, and weary.
		These political attitudes were reflected largely in the pages of Partisan Review, Commentary, and the New Leader, the three magazines, and the writers grouped around them, that originally made up the core of the American Committee for Cultural Freedom.

		Partisan Review was born in the 30's in the decade that we look back on today with so much curiosity, nostalgia, misunderstanding.
		And if the time between the 30's and the 70's often appears foreshortened, it is because of the peculiar sense of contemporaneity that makes the whole modern period seem all of a piece.

	CTV.ca \| Partisan Review magazine folding
		-- Partisan Review, which published the early work of such writers as Norman Mailer and Susan Sontag and became one of the most influential literary journals in the country, is shutting down after nearly 70 years.
		Partisan Review's advisory board announced the decision Wednesday after Boston University, which owns the magazine, said it wanted a new editorial direction for the magazine.
		After its heyday, the Partisan Review was supported by Rutgers University starting in 1969 and moved to Boston University in 1978.

	William Phillips -- co-founder of Partisan Review
		William Phillips, co-founding editor of the cultural journal Partisan Review, which showcased many of the mid-20th century's finest writers and critics, died of pneumonia at a New York hospital Friday.
		Partisan Review became "the original cultural organ" of the group, said Neil Jumonville, an intellectual historian at Florida State University, and inspired other influential journals such as Dissent and Commentary.
		They launched Partisan Review with $800 in their pockets, enough to run the magazine for a year in the ruinous Depression economy.

	Amazon.com: Partisans: Marriage, Politics, and Betrayal among the New York Intellectuals: Books: David Laskin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Partisans makes it clear that even the female intellectual superstars portrayed in its pages had to put up with far more suffereing in terms of abuse, sexual infidelity, and having to do all the housework even when you were a world famous (woman) writer than any one of us would tolerate today.
		The common thread seems to have been their alliance to the Partisan Review, but politics was never the prime impetus in their lives.
		Partisans describes how many of the leading women writers from the 1930s to 60s -- people like Mary McCarthy and Elizabeth Hardwick -- argued, slept, partied, married and divorced their ways through the literary, political and gender battles of the times.

	News & Events - The New School for Social Research
		Partisan Review was founded by William Phillips and Philip Rahv in the spring of 1934, under the auspices of the John Reed Club, which was affiliated with the Communist Party of America.
		In the years that followed, this new sensibility associated with the cultural criticism of the second generation of Partisan Review influenced the style and content of many then-fledging magazines like The New York Review of Books, where Philips himself was an early and valued contributor.
		Partisan Review may be gone, but the sensibility and spirit of Phillips lives on in many contemporary magazines that value intelligence and independence above all else.

	Jeet Heer, "Stealing From th Enemy: The New Yorker and its Critics"
		Partisan Review was highbrow; The New Yorker was middlebrow.
		Partisan Review was a small quarterly that numbered its readers in the thousands; The New Yorker was a slick weekly selling in the hundreds of thousands.
		Just as Partisan Review attacked The New Yorker from the left in the 1930s and 1940s, in the 1980s and 1990s it was now being attacked from the right by magazines like National Review.

		Putting the emphasis in the lyric's messages, that live between love and melancholy, The Partisan Seed reveals a profound self-portrait of the composer, through a flux of introspective and sincere songs.

	America's Bloomsbury; the story of the Partisan Review crowd Washington Monthly - Find Articles
		Not surprisingly, the mood of the legatees of the Partisan Review crowd today is self-congratulatory-- of course you've heard the story of how they've repelled the Soviet threat and tamed the welfare monster.
		So it's a departure from conventional wisdom for Alexander Bloom to say, in the latest addition to the Partisan Review shelf*, that the crowd's story is not in some kind of final glorious phase, but over.
		One does not read the neoconservatives any more for their intellectual freshness--for the feeling (which was the key to Partisan Review in its glory days) that they are on the cutting edge of writing about politics and culture.

		Partisan Review, a relic of American Trotskyism and one-time Bible of the New York intellectual set, announced this week it will fold after nearly 70 years of publishing.
		Founded by William Phillips and Philip Rahv in 1934, Partisan Review was originally a Stalinist organ of the Kremlin-funded John Reed Club.
		I don't agree that the Partisan Review was stale or intellectually orthodox and not fresh.

		Phillips's death, Boston University has had the controlling interest in Partisan Review, but it is financed largely by contributions from members of its advisory board.
		Silber had already been surveying people "involved in the realm of ideas," he says, and "the general consensus was that Partisan Review was a reliquary.

	The New York Review of Books: Finding It at the Movies
		Reviews naturally make up most of it, but some of her retrospective appreciations and most of her occasional "state of the movies" essays are included.
		She was a pioneer, in effect, of the condition movies suffer from today, when by the time a big-budget production hits the screen, it has been so overexposed in magazines and on television that there is almost no point in bothering to go see it.
		Pauline Kael understood these things, and she consciously built her practice as a reviewer around them; and that is why she is a supremely important figure even for writers who, although they grew up reading everything she wrote, always strived, in their own work, never to sound like Pauline Kael.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Partisan Review
		The Fall Partisan Review has arrived, and with it Dwight MacDonald's second article on Masscult and Midcult.
		MacDonald's heart (as those who heard him speak in Harvard Hall last year will remember); it has the built-in advantage of immediately alienating a certain number of ineffectuals and of subtly flattering the educated majority; thus it is considered controversial.
		This is a legion that threatens to destroy any highbrow culture that remains in this country; for the middlebrow ruthlessly appropriates highbrow literature and cuts it to fit the well-worn grooves of his own mind.

	Book Review - Frances Stonor Saunders, Who Paid the Piper: The CIA and the Cultural Cold War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Many were knowingly involved with CIA "projects," and others drifted in and out of its orbit, claiming ignorance of the CIA connection after their CIA sponsors were publicly exposed during the late 1960s and the Vietnam war, after the turn of the political tide to the left.
		Regarding the most prestigious and best-known publications of the self-styled "Democratic Left" (Encounter, New Leader, Partisan Review), Braden wrote that the money for them came from the CIA and that "an agent became the editor of Encounter" (398).
		Many of the so-called prestigious anticommunist literary and political journals would long have gone out of business were it not for CIA subsidies, which bought thousands of copies that it later distributed free.

	The New York Review of Books: PR
		For a literary journal like Partisan Review to have survived a quarter of a century is equivalent to a man passing the age of a hundred: he looms as a triumph of the life principle, no matter how wrinkled or bent he may now be.
		Among American literary magazines of the twentieth century, only The Dial in the twenties and Kenyon Review in the forties were so important, The Dial in helping to internationalize our culture by printing the major European moderns, and Kenyon in fostering the New Criticism and its allied poets.
		What seems to be missing is the intellectual context in which the articles, reviews, and even stories were written.

	A Partisan Century; Political Writings from Partisan Review; Edited by Edith Kurzweil
		For more than sixty years, Partisan Review has been the most influential literary and cultural journal in America, home to some of this century's finest writers.
		A Partisan Century gathers together some of the journal's most outstanding moments:from George Orwell's "London Letter," written when invasion by Nazi Germany seemed imminent; to Susan Sontag's 1964 essay, "Notes on 'Camp'," a harbinger to the age of postmodernism; to Steven Marcus's "Soft Totalitarianism," part of a rousing symposium on the effects of political correctness.
		On the subjects ranging from the Cold War tothe neoconservatives, from the war in Vietnam to revolutionaries in Romania, the writings in A Partisan Century are a barometer of the shifts in global politics in the twentieth century.

	A Bi-Partisan Review of Liberality for All
		Getting a bad review is the risk one takes when submitting a comic to a review.
		Reading my review copy of Liberality For All #3 reminds me of one thing: there are fewer good artists in the world than there are people with good ideas for a work of art.
		But your review seems to reveal somewhat of a thin skin when it comes to your ability to absorb the hits of an author whose goal is to trash everything on your side of the political aisle.

	Between Friends: The Correspondence of Hannah Arendt and Mary McCarthy, 1949-1975
		Her friends at the Partisan Review nicknamed her "Hannah Arrogance." "Who does she think she is, Aristotle?" complained the editor, William Phillips.
		It was true that she was arrogant, or at least self-assured: she had a first-rate mind, a lively career as a writer and teacher, and a strong sense of injustice rooted in her own experience of persecution.
		She might have provided more information about these figures and their historical setting; the supporting materials don't tell enough about them or about the nature of the controversies in which they were involved.

		From where she sat, next to Mary McCarthy, she fixed on me a basilisk eye, and what she said was this: "Young man, we are watching you." Well.
		The Partisan Reviewers, although they could stay up all night drinking Scotch and disputing whether John Dewey had been an agent of the Japanese Mikado or Jay Lovestone was really a Lovestoneite, were never as important as they thought they were.
		Nobody could be, and intellectuals never are--in a pillbox like a Waco, in Culture Wars of seething sects, full of grudge and doctrine, firing essays instead of bullets, throwing tantrums instead of bombs, killing reputations and also time.

	The Man Who Knew Too Much
		A rich, apolitical, WASP Yale alumnus whom the Depression radicalized, he initially sought salvation in Moscow, only to lose his Stalinist faith once the show trials occurred.
		Yet from 1941 he found the Trot temperament to be almost indistinguishable from the Stalinist one and fled that totalitarianism also.
		After Politics, he gave us his most devastating literary articles, originally printed in Partisan Review, Commentary, and the New Yorker but afterwards assembled in Against the American Grain and Discriminations.
